    1st timer experience

    Being new to any situation can be un nerving to say the least. My wife and I don't do the "car show" "car club" thing due to the almost always presence of politics involved. Before we came to MV10 I was asked by several members to give this group a chance, don't judge all car groups because of past experiences...I am glad I listened.

    From the moment I got out of my car there were smiling faces and warm welcomes. The first person I met was Doom, we instantly got along. I wish I could remember everyone's names but there so many and all of you nice. Genuinely wanted us to be included, wanted to say hi, good afternoon, lets get a drink, lets play cards, lets grab a bite to eat, etc etc...I have never been to a gathering before where I felt at ease right off the bat. I am a social type, I LOVE to talk, but usually I have to force myself into a conversation...not so at MV10, I was asked to join.

    Thanks, thanks to the many people that we had the chance to meet and hang out with. I can honestly say that we will be back, looking forward to it.

    Isn't your name Joel? And is still say you should have gone after the cougar folding the laundry behind the front desk at the hotel.

    Bwahahaha! Nope, I am not Joel! However, I do agree, Joel should have chased her down!!!!

    Joel was another great guy to meet, and we live within 45 min of each other!

    Well I couldn't be anything less around a girl like her. I'd take a S.H.I.T from you anytime. What's the next event you will be at? I heard a lot of talk about Louisville?
